Song - Joshua
D
Well a good ways down the railroad track
G
There was this little old rundown shack
A
And in it lived a man I'd never seen
D
Folks said he was a mean and a vicious man
G
And you better not set foot on his land
AD
I didn't think nobody could be that mean
D
So I took me out walking down the railroad track
G
I was a-gonna go down to that little old shack
AD
And just find out if all them things I'd heard was true
There was a big black dog laying out in the yard
G
And it growled at me and I swallowed hard
AD
And I heard somebody say well who are you
Oh and there he stood in the door of that shack
G
His beard and his hair was long and black
AD
And he was the biggest man I'd ever seen
When he spoke his voice was low and deep
G
But he just didn't frighten me
AD
'Cause somehow I just knew he wasn't mean
[ Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/dolly_parton/joshua_crd.html ]
He said what you doing snooping 'round my place
G
And I saw a smile come across his face
A
So I smiled back and I told him who I was
D
He said come on in and pull you up a chair
G
You might as well since you already here
AD
And he said you can call me Joshua
GD
Joshua Joshua
AD
Whatcha doing living here all alone
GD
Joshua Joshua
AD
Ain't you got nobody to call your own
AD
No no no no
D
We talked 'til the sun was clean out of sight
G
And we still talking when it come daylight
A
And there was just so much we had to say hey
D
I'd spent my life in an orphan's home
G
And just like him I was all alone
AD
So I said yeah when he asked if I'd stay
Oh we grew closer as time went on
G
And that little old shack it was a happy home
A
And we just couldn't help but fall in love
D
That big black dog and that little old shack
G
Sitting down by the railroad track
AD
It's plenty good enough for me and Joshua
GD
Joshua Joshua
AD
Why you're just what I've been looking for
GD
Joshua Joshua
AD
You ain't gonna be lonesome anymore
A
No no
AGD
Me and Joshua
